Poultry Broth

Ingredients

• 1 chicken or turkey carcass, skin removed, cut in pieces
• 12 cups water
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 carrot, chopped
• 1 stalk celery, chopped
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• dash black pepper
• pinch dried thyme
• pinch dried rosemary

Method

1. Place all items in a large soup pan or crock pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 1-1/2 hours on low heat (you can double this time in a crock pot if you wish).
2. Remove the bones and seasonings and chill immediately in a shallow container. Remove the fat that rises and solidifies on top.
3. Use immediately or freeze in ziplock bags in 1 cup portions up to one year.
4. This broth is great for soups, rice and pasta dishes.
